What is this Yub Nub? I know it has something to do with commands but Wikipedia only gave me this definition.

Ewok Celebration (also known as Yub Nub from its incipit, which means 'freedom' in Ewokese) is a musical theme recurring in the ending of the Return of the Jedi. It was composed by John Williams.
I do hope its something good :) .

YubNub: My entry for the Rails Day 24 hour programming contest


http://photos9.flickr.com/17515393_ef00ae333b_o.png (http://yubnub.org/)


(Credit for the cute snail drawing goes to Igor Križanovskij (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:SCN1B.jpg))


Well I have completed my submission for the 2005 "Rails Day" 24-hour programming contest. The idea was to make the coolest program in 24 hours, using a wonderful programming system called Ruby on Rails (http://www.google.com/url?sa=U&start=1&q=http%3A//www.rubyonrails.org/&ei=BYiiQsOdDpq2YLjH0KIE). I made a web application called YubNub (http://yubnub.org/) (haven't had a chance to make it publicly accessible -- will do soon). But first, a question:

1. What is YubNub?

YubNub is a command-line for the web. After setting it up on your browser, you simply type "gim porsche 911" to do a Google Image Search (http://images.google.com/) for pictures of Porsche 911 sports cars. Type "random 49" to return random numbers between 1 and 49, courtesy of random.org (http://random.org/). And best of all, you can make a new command by giving YubNub an appropriate URL.

2. Why did you make YubNub?

On a practical note, I was tired of setting up the same Firefox keywords on each of the 5 computers that I use. By putting my keywords into YubNub, I can hit "am mark twain" for an Amazon search, or "gmap vancouver" for a Google Maps search, no matter which computer I'm on.

But on a bigger scale, YubNub is the realization of a very big idea: the URL command line (http://udell.roninhouse.com/bytecols/2001-08-15.html) of the web OS (http://www.kottke.org/04/04/google-operating-system).

Web applications were once considered slow and unreliable, compared to their desktop counterparts. But these days, people are increasingly choosing web applications over desktop applications. Amazingly, GMail is found to be faster (http://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog/archives/004689.html) than desktop email programs. The snappy Google Maps interface feels as responsive as a desktop application. The web is morphing into the desktop, and today we are witness to the command line making its appearance in this new world, as YubNub, the (social) command-line for the web.

The beauty of YubNub is that anyone can help to extend it. If there is an existing web service with a submit form, they can add it pretty easily (like I did with the Amazon example above). But even more interesting is the adding of complex data-processing services (like validating an RSS feed, or converting webpages to audio using text-to-speech).

This will really come into play when I implement pipes (e.g. "google jon udell | to_rss | xargs text_to_speech"). Now that is going to rock! And I don't have to be the one to make these commands -- anyone in the world can create the code for to_rss, xargs, and text_to_speech, hosting it on their server. YubNub is just the glue that enables these pieces to interact.

3. What's up with the name "YubNub", anyway?

I remember hearing this word as a kid, watching one of the Star Wars movies. Evidently it means "Hooray (http://www.geocities.com/wermosguidetohuttese/Ewok.html)" in the Ewok language.

Advanced Syntax for Creating Commands

You probably already know that you can use %s to let the user specify parameters for your command. For example, if you make a command called gim with the following URL... http://images.google.com/images?q=%s
...when the user types... gim porsche 911
...they will be taken to... http://images.google.com/images?q=porsche+911
Below are some advanced tricks that you can use when making a new command. If you have any suggestions for advanced YubNub syntax, send me an email (jonathan.aquino@gmail.com). Multiple Parameters

Finally YubNub now has multiple parameters. This is best explained with an example. Andrew MacDaniel wanted to make a Google Local (http://www.google.com/lochp) command called "gloc". Google Local takes two parameters: a "what" and a "where". You can now make such a command using the following URL:
http://www.google.com/local?sc=1&hl=en&q=${what}&near=${where}&btnG=Google+Search&rl=1
Note the two parameters: ${what} and ${where}. So now people can type... gloc -what pizza -where Poughkeepsie, NY
...and they will be taken to... http://www.google.com/local?sc=1&hl=en&q=pizza&near=Poughkeepsie%2C+NY&btnG=Google+Search&rl=1
Neat, hey? Note the dashes on "-what" and "-where". This is a tribute to YubNub's command-line heritage. In the command-line world, these are called "switches". "-what" and "-where" would be referred to as the "what switch" and the "where switch". Default Values

Continuing our above example, what if the user doesn't specify a "what" or a "where"? There is now a way to specify default values (syntax suggested by Christopher Church). http://www.google.com/local?sc=1&hl=en&q=${what=tennis shoes}&near=${where=Washington, DC}&btnG=Google+Search&rl=1
Now if the user does not specify a "what"... gloc -where Poughkeepsie, NY
...it will default to "tennis shoes" and they will be taken to... http://www.google.com/local?sc=1&hl=en&q=tennis+shoes&near=Poughkeepsie%2C+NY&btnG=Google+Search&rl=1
Similarly, if they do not specify a "where", it will default to "Washington, DC". Converting GET to POST

Sometimes you can't turn a web submission form into a YubNub command because it is a POST form (the source code says method="post") rather than a GET form (the regular kind). Well, Sean O'Hagan has made a way to create YubNub commands from POST forms. All you have to do is include the following text somewhere in your URL: [post]

For example, here is the URL for the stlclib command, which searches the St. Louis County Library: http://webpac.slcl.org/search/~a?a&searchtype=Y&searcharg=%s&searchscope=22[post]
Thanks Sean for contributing the get2post.php script! (Source code (http://jonaquino.textdriven.com/sean_ohagan/get2post.php.html))

Tip: It can be a headache to try to construct the URL by looking at the HTML source. So go to Stephen Ostermiller's bookmarklets (http://ostermiller.org/bookmarklets/form.html) and drag his "Forms To GET" bookmarklet to your toolbar. Then press it to convert the POST form to a GET form so you can see the parameters in your address bar when you submit it.

Update: Joshua H. reports that when using [post] you may need to replace your "&" with a "?": "I suspect that this wasn't noticed before because most search forms take more than one parameter and the important one with the search terms was not the first one in the list." Some commands need it to be "&" (like ibands (http://yubnub.org/kernel/man?args=ibands)); others need it to be "?" (like desa (http://yubnub.org/kernel/man?args=desa)). Using a Character Other Than + for Spaces

Normally YubNub will convert spaces to + signs, like in the example above ("porsche 911" is converted to "porsche+911"). This is what most websites expect (like Google and Yahoo). But there are some websites that expect %20 instead of + signs -- for example, the National Library of Singapore. To tell YubNub to use %20 instead of + for spaces, include the following text somewhere in your URL: [use %20 for spaces].

For example, if you make a command called nlb with the following URL... http://vistaweb.nlb.gov.sg/cgi-bin/cw_cgi?10100+REDIRX+useDatabase_3002_w_%s[use %20 for spaces]
...when the user types... nlb harry potter
...they will be taken to... http://vistaweb.nlb.gov.sg/cgi-bin/cw_cgi?10100+REDIRX+useDatabase_3002_w_harry%20pot ter
Note that YubNub converted "harry potter" to "harry%20potter" instead of "harry+potter".

Update: You can now use other characters besides %20. For example, to use - signs, say [use - for spaces]. Turning off URL Encoding

Normally YubNub will apply "URL encoding" to parameters. For example, "gim Mork & Mindy" gets turned into http://images.google.com/images?q=Mork+%26+Mindy (note that the & became +%26+). This is what works for most websites. However, W. Van Hooste pointed out that this does not work for the Internet Archive Wayback Machine. To tell YubNub to turn off URL encoding, include the following text somewhere in your URL: [no url encoding]

For example, if you make a command called arch with the following URL... http://web.archive.org/web/*/%s[no url encoding]
...when the user types... arch http://www.ing.be/
...they will be taken to... http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.ing.be/
If you hadn't specified [no url encoding], the user would have been taken to http://web.archive.org/web/*/http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ing.be%2F Combining Commands

You can now combine commands together (http://yubnub.blogspot.com/2005/07/ok-weve-got-pipes-how-to-combine.html). For example, g {random 100}. Going to a Different URL Depending on Whether the User Supplies Parameters

Fuska has developed a technique (http://yubnub.blogspot.com/2005/08/first-command-to-use-ifthen-command.html) for going to one URL if the user provides arguments, and another URL if they do not provide arguments. For example, you can make a command that takes you to the CNN search page if you specify keywords to search for, and if you don't specify any keywords, it will take you to the CNN main page. Fuska's technique uses Allen Ormond's ifthen command (http://yubnub.blogspot.com/2005/08/allen-ormonds-programmatic-commands.html). Positional Parameters

Fuska has also developed a technique for positional parameters (http://yubnub.blogspot.com/2005/12/positional-parameters-problem-solved.html) e.g. gloc -what {% 1 %s} -where {% 2 %s}[no url encoding]http://yubnub.org/documentation/describe_advanced_syntax

Positional parameters problem solved by fuska

fuska is very clever.

He implemented positional parameters by creating a command called %. Yes it is called %. So essentially you can do % 1, % 2, % 3, etc.

For example, the googlocal command:

gloc -what {% 1 %s} -where {% 2 %s}[no url encoding]

I was quite stunned when I saw this example, and it took me a couple of minutes to understand how % works its magic. I am so impressed.

Ah, by the way, to enjoy the full advantage of having a command line search engine, you gotta know the key Firefox shortcut for the search bar, so that YubNub really makes sense:

CTRL+K

moves the cursor on the search bar, and if your default is YubNub, you can start searching whatever you want without even touching the mouse. It makes everything quicker, that's why I find it very very useful.

Almost all of these (if not all), either exist or can easily be created in konqueror (as well as firefox). It's one of the reasons I cant use anything other than konqueror. Maybe i'm missing something, but i fail to see the point. Perhaps someone can show me the difference.

I know not everyone uses konqeuror (though they might if they got accustomed to some of the powerful features like this one), but like i said. firefox can behave like konq and do this too.

Thanks rav, however that didn't explain what i was wondering.

Quick example based on his from that page.

In konq address bar enter

ggi:porsche 911

For google image search.

Gotcha, i see your point. Makes sense, i didn't think of it that way as each computer i use, be it home or away from home runs linux.

Was just trying to point out that there's a couple native apps that already do all of this. Figured some might not be aware. I'm just so used to it i cant use a browser without it. Always find myself trying to type short commands.

I knew about the konq command prompts but never used them, got a short howto or link?

I don't know of a howto offhand. I know there's one to get those functions rockin' in firefox. I can find that for you.. It's less intuitive though.

For konqueror, just click settings -> configure konqueror -> web shortcuts, and you'll see a ton of premade ones you can take a glance at as examples, or edit.

I believe there's a bunch of user contributed ones on kde-apps or something similar. Not 100% on where though.

I don't mind posting a few i created as well for some examples.
